In this study, the method of selecting people will be simple random sampling. In this way, we number the list of names of the students who are going to enter the study from 1 to the last (60) and record each of the numbers on similar and identical small cards. Then we put all the cards in a box and every time after shaking the box, we randomly take out one card from the box and record its number. We continue this process until the number of 20 people is obtained. We put these people in the ICBT group. Then, after shaking the box, we take out another 20 cards and record their number. The names of the 20 cards removed will be considered as the iACT group, and the names of the 20 cards remaining in the box will be considered as the control group.

In this study, main investigator and outcome assessor were blinded. The data analyser were also blinded because all checklist was without name and contained only a code.
